ah that's so sick. Thought i'd be the only one to post j21 pics this season but you got me beat haha. Wish mine fit like that! mine is a medium / size too big for me but i get a lot of use out of it in the warmer months regardless

blurrier. just a bunch of dwr/waterproof or quick dry stuff for a rainy day

i like techwear for the utilitarian aspectsâ€¦ it was consistently raining in nyc yesterday and i liked this fit for getting around. the shell and boots are waterproof, pullover and backpack are DWR treated, and the performance chinos are quick drying 4-way stretch for comfort and range of motion. i have plenty of pockets and storage too, but they're all hidden. thx for looking

I don't think there's an issue with it being worn up, I'm just confused as to whether it is cold or warm where he is, based on what he's wearing. Good fit, though.

It was sunny but windy and a bit chilly, ~10 degrees C if I remember it right. Obviously I'm not wearing this thing during the summer, but it was the first day in weeks, maybe longer, where I could; so I did. Same goes for the vest, It does get a bit hot at the neck of it if it's even mildly warm so it's really just a morning thing; handy since it packs so well.

How else would you wear the gaiter? I think it looks kinda dumb if it's worn like a turtleneck type thing

Also PS my left hand is in my vest pocket, not a weird lump on my stomach lol

Something like a Veilance Quoin vest or the Graph cardigan? If you don't want to pay Veilance prices and don't mind the branding, Arcteryx do the Atom LT Vest. Or do you want something like a thin insulator jacket?

If he's repping 4horsemen he's probably in Victoria in which case the whether is all fucky and that fit isn't unreasonable other than kind of being weird in general.

Exactly, I live in Victoria and it's always something different here; but we have been lucky enough to have a bright and fairly warm spring so far. Besides the gaiter this is kind of what I wear day to do depending on temperature, but probably one of the more loud days; and that was part of the point.

I never liked wearing it just on my neck, It doesn't do my body type any justice. I guess the same could be said for wearing it up, but at least then it looks less like something you'd see most people wearing and serves a better function. I'd have no reason to wear it just on my neck with the vest since it tends to keep my neck fairly warm on it's own with the high collar.

The gaiter definitely looks better when worn with a jacket than a vest though, I can't deny that.
